Illinois Mega Millions: Results Today, Megaplier & Player Guide
Welcome to the official results and strategy portal for Illinois Mega Millions. Mega Millions is drawn twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday nights at 10:00 PM Central Time (CT), with ticket sales cutting off at 9:45 PM CT. Featuring a guaranteed starting jackpot of $20 million that rolls over without any cap, Mega Millions has created some of the largest single-ticket lottery payouts in global history, exceeding $1.6 billion.
Illinois holds a legendary place in Mega Millions history as one of the original founding states when the game launched in August 1996 as The Big Game. On July 29, 2022, Illinois made international headlines when a single winning ticket sold at a Speedway gas station in Des Plaines, Illinois won an astounding $1.337 Billion Mega Millions jackpot—the largest prize ever won in Illinois and the third-largest lottery jackpot in US history at the time! Illinois also produced a historic $656 million jackpot winner in Red Bud, IL in March 2012.
Played on a 5-from-70 white ball matrix with a 1-from-24 gold Mega Ball, the odds of matching all six numbers to claim the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350. Matching just the Mega Ball wins $2, while matching all 5 white balls awards a $1,000,000 cash prize. Players can add the Megaplier option for $1.00 extra per play to multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x, boosting the Match 5 second prize up to $5,000,000 in cash! Overall odds of winning any prize are an attractive 1 in 24.
100% of Illinois Mega Millions net revenue supports the Common School Fund and Capital Projects Fund, directly benefiting public school classrooms and state infrastructure projects across all 102 Illinois counties. Prizes over $5,000 are subject to 24% federal withholding and 4.95% Illinois state withholding tax. Illinois allows winners of prizes of $250,000 or more to remain anonymous upon request. Winning tickets remain valid for one full year (365 days) from the drawing date.
